Having the 2014 FIFA World Cup as the main topic of the day, Chivas USA hit the road to face the Carolina RailHawks of the North America Soccer League in the Fourth Round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

Among bracket talks and discussions about who will make it to the final and become World Cup Champions, the Red-and-White landed in Raleigh, N.C. at 7:20 p.m. (ET). During the flight, the team was lucky to be granted with individual TVs that allowed them to enjoy the inaugural game where host team Brazil defeated Croatia 3-1.

Chivas USA arrived in the East Coast two days ahead of the match in order to adapt to the external conditions they will face during Saturday’s match. Upon their arrival to the team hotel, the squad got together for dinner and then held an activation session to help them recover from the long trip.

On Friday, the Red-and-White will spend the morning at the hotel enjoying Day 2 of the World Cup, while later in the afternoon, they will host their first and lone training session in the Carolinas.

The following day, in a match scheduled to kick off at 5:00 p.m. (PT) at WakeMed Soccer Park, Chivas USA take on their first encounter in USOC competition. The Goats have already visited the venue in 2013, in a game that eliminated them from cup contention in overtime. Having that in mind, the Red-and-White enter the match thinking of revenge and advancing to the Fifth Round, where they will face the winner of the LA Galaxy-Arizona United SC match.
